This was really good! I cut the spinach back by half to better suit my tastes and I am glad I did. I am not a huge fan of spinach so that brought it to a point that I really enjoyed. I also ended up adding in some cheddar cheese as I was almost out of asiago (about 1/3 cup). It was really good, but I think it would be better with all asiago. This was a great meal for me! I am so impressed that you came up with this! You are a culinary wizard! :)
